Layering has always been a great way to add some depth and dimension to your look. While jackets and scarves are often used as layers, there is one really cool item that is sadly not used that very often when it comes to layering. We are, of course, talking about the vest. Traditionally a part of a man’s three piece suit, the vest or as the British like to call it ‘’the waistcoat’’ has moved on from being a part of a conservative suit to now being a trendy item that women can add to their outfit to jazz up the look.

1. Wear it with a tank top
This is by far the easiest way to wear a vest. Pair it with a tank top and jeans for a casual look that is laidback but not boring. The vest acts as an eye-catching element and makes the look more trendy and fun. You can also pair your vest with a spaghetti top or even a tube top for a more daring look.
2. Oversize it
Oversized vests are super cute. There is something about an oversized vest that just makes your whole look so much more elegant and chic. Layer an oversized vest over a dress or some formal trousers for the ultimate fashionista look.
3. Fringe is In
Wear a fringed vest with an oversized t-shirt or a kurta for a bohemian look. This is the perfect spring/summer look. You can add some interesting accessories to keep your look unique and so totally yours.
